True the Vote is an organization that was formed to prevent voter fraud, train volunteers to work as election monitors, register voters, validate voter-registration lists and pursue fraud reports to push for prosecution if illegal activity has occurred.

“True the Vote filed suit in federal court in Washington today against the Internal Revenue Service, asking the court to grant its long-awaited tax exempt status and seeking damages for the unlawful actions by the IRS in the processing of its application for exempt status. ActRight Legal Foundation, a 501(c)3 fundamental rights and public interest law firm represents True the Vote in the lawsuit.

“We’ve been waiting for three years to receive a decision from the IRS about our tax exempt status,” True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht said. “After answering hundreds of questions and producing thousands of documents, we’re done waiting. The IRS does not have the power to pocket veto our application. Federal law empowers groups like True the Vote to force a decision in court – which is precisely what we aim to do.”

Twitchy staff notes: “As if it weren’t bad enough to learn that conservative-targeting IRS official Lois Lerner had been placed on paid administrative leave, Sen. Chuck Grassley let slip today that Lerner’s summer vacation with pay came only after she refused a request to resign. Sarah Palin proposed at least one alternative use for Lerner’s annual salary, not even taking into account the tens of thousands awarded in bonuses over the past several years.”

Meanwhile, country singer John Rich tweets he’s going do to a “Lois Lerner” too: “Instead of paying taxes next year I’m going to not pay and #pleadthe5th then say “I don’t recall what happened” just like they’re doing.”

Was she a plant?

Or just a pink petunia in the Rose Garden? Not this time. Terrorist supporter Medea Benjamin of Code Pink, of whom President Obama once said, “The voice of that woman is worth paying attention to,” heckled POTUS last week while he spoke on national security issues at the National Defense University at Ft. McNair in Washington, D.C.

And what did the pinko one want? She demanded he shut down the Guantanamo Bay facility. Now.

Are police being trained to confiscate cell phones because they could be firing weapons? Or as a ruse to prevent people from recording police activity? According to a published report, new tactics are being employed by some police departments to limit YouTube clips of police brutality.

“As a result of the numerous legal cases that have proven recording police officers is not a crime,” Infowars reports, “authorities are getting more creative in attempting to stop abuse by law enforcement offices ending up as a viral video on YouTube.”
